Case Management & View

DoctorCase Notes provides a repository for all the patient records held on the system. It is patient-centred and it collects and manages all information about that patient and their care. Case Management and View provides the patient folder view which is the main point of access to the patient record and to clinical modules such as Smart Forms for clinical data entry, Order Communications, Results Reporting, Care Pathways and Care Planning.

All clinical activity is collected as ‘events’, which may be a clinical note, an assessment, a lab result, the publication of a care plan or many others. Tabs lead to key clinical information and summary views. The working area shows the event or summary.

The patient folder view shows as much clinical information as possible in as simple and accessible form as possible, with minimal key-presses and without the need to access specific functions.
